Have you been to Camp Golf yet? It's the random NCR encampment towards the eastern side of the Mojave Wasteland, just to the north of Lake Las Vegas, and due west from the Fisherman's Pride Shack. When you head over there, you'll find a rather ragtag crew of NCR soldiers that barely constitute themselves as a fight force worth mentioning. If you head into the commander's headquarters (the tent in front of the gigantic mansion on the premises), you'll undoubtedly run into a man named Sgt. McCredie. The Sergeant is rather rude and curt with you, but it's to be expected. After all, his soldiers are all but incompetent. If you offer to help him out, he'll tell you that you can, though he has no confidence in your ability to actually do so.

Leave headquarters thereafter. There are four soldiers around camp you can speak with to attempt any number of ways to finish this brief side quest, but by far the easiest and most straight-forward technique is to find and speak with a man named O'Hanrahan. When you speak with this guy, you can learn a bit about his backstory. When you talk to him about why the fighting force here (known as the Misfits) aren't up to snuff, O'Hanrahan thinks it has a lot to do with the fact that no one likes or respects anyone else. Offer to help him out, and you'll have to use moderate Speech skills to convince his three friends of the same thing.

You can speak to his three friends in any order you'd like, but we spoke to Mags first, Poindexter second, and Razz third. You'll need to appeal to each of these three people in different ways, but a moderate Speech skill will do the trick with each of them. Just be sure to explore the conversation paths that require you to get on the subject of camaraderie with one another. They all have various hang-ups, but a Speech check with each will bring them back together. Then you only have to speak with O'Hanrahan to wrap this side quest up. Keep in mind that if you don't have a moderate Speech skills, you can still get through this side quest, though you'll need to find other conduits (with their own unique skill checks) in order to do so.
